GameFace is the funniest sitcom of the year - review
So how about that bold claim that GameFace is 2017's best new homegrown sitcom? Well, its only serious rivals have been Mitchell and Webb's Back, parenting satire Motherland and rural mockumentary This Country. GameFace arguably out-laughed and out-charmed them all. It even ended on a sweetly optimistic note. Let's hope the second series doesn't take another three years.
